Jamaica

Jamaica is a neighborhood located in Queens (part of Queens Community Board 12) bordering Queens Village, Howard Beach and Ozone Park.

Nonprofits such as the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation have helped to promote development within the neighborhood, putting valuable real estate in the hands of national chains that can expand opportunities for advancement. As a central transfer point on the Long Island Rail Road and home to its headquarters, Jamaica is primed to attract business and development.
